Sunny looked over at the girl and asked,"If you aren't born yet...how did you get here?" China said,"Time Machine. I was supposed to distract the Haen. I did that. I'm not supposed to say anything else. I'm not supposed to interact with folks." Sunny shrugged,"Alright." China looked out the window with rounded shoulders and drew a shuddering breath and jumped as Jalisco leaped into the room and pointed a Force-Collider carbine at her and commanded,"FREEZE!" China whirled and looked at him in shock. "Uncle HAL! You're ALIVE! I can't handle this!" She gasped and tears ran down her face. Jalisco said to his comm-unit,"Area secured,sir! It appears to be ONE...three eyed girl. About as big as Lime. Blue as Bluebell." China said,"She's my mommy, Uncle Hal! OOOOPS! I'm not supposed to SAY ANYTHING!" The door opened behind him and Tall White Lady came into the room in her underwear. She froze just inside the door in shock at the tableau. She asked,"What in the world?" China exclaimed,"Twidledee! Starshine's mother! How did you get here?" She snapped at Jalisco,"Stop pointing a gun at China! Wait. How do I know your name? Aren't you Starshine's playmate?" Sunny looked around in confusion and asked,"WAIT! You know PEOPLE FROM THE FUTURE? HOW do you know my NIECE WHO ISN'T BORN YET?" TWL paused with a look of complete confusion etched on her face. "I...I don't know. I was looking for you, Sunny, because I TOUCHED Starshine. With my hands! Your mother came in and we talked and she jumped up and ran out, shouting orders about something into her comm-unit." Starshine tinkled like small bells and bobbed up and down. Jalisco glared at the small ball of light and moved to keep a line of sight on China. Sunshine said,"I agree with Starshine! Lady, you do NOT look quite right! Maybe you need to sit down?" Sunny jumped out of her seat and led TWL over to her seat. "You hands are shaking and damp! Maybe you ought to stick a finger into the diagnostic thingee hole in the chair-arm? Are you sick?" TWL sat down hard. She put her finger into a hole that had been concealed by a cover on the chair-arm. She stared at China and asked,"You're from the future? Do I EVER get Starshine MATERIALIZED?" China looked blank. She shrugged. "Isn't she now? I mean she's fooling around in will-o-the-wisp form right now, right?" The chair-arm chirped and said,"Hypoglycemia detected. Blood-sugar is at 55 and falling. Eat something sweet with carbohydrates IMMEDIATELY and report to sick-bay for examination!" China said, "You need to eat like Auntie Tok-tok after your shape-changing! You guys could finish off a whole herd of BUFFALO after fooling around!" Sunny came back with some sweet rolls from the food machine and gave them to TWL, who ate ravenously. Sunny said admiringly,"Wowee! You sure know a lot!" China blushed and put her hands over her mouth. Sunny said, "Oh,yeah! You aren't supposed to say anything,right?" China muttered,"My Aunt Sunshine will STRANGLE me!" Sunny said,"I AM?" China laughed,"NOT YOU! The OTHER you! The adult you!" Sunny giggled. "THIS is starting to make my head hurt,too!" China exclaimed,"YOU CAN'T MENTION MY NAME TO MY MOM BEFORE I'M BORN! THAT one THING WILL mess up time, BIG TIME!" TWL said,"I can see that. I can SHAPE-CHANGE? Into WHAT? A giant monster or something?" China said, "Dunno. I seen you change into a human woman. That's all I know! GOD! I am such a blabbermouth! Stop talking with me!" She shouted and turned to glare out the window. After a long while she whispered,"It looks so different from Earth from the moon base." Sunny asked,"We have a moon-base?" China groaned and smacked her head against the window."Y'all can just shoot me right NOW." --To be continued!--
